| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @markcooperstein How much credence do you give to the members above who have last owned the Linn LP12 forty years ago and are 100% sure that the current Linn LP12 is a poor choice? Kind of like saying I owned a Ford Mustang in the 70’s and it re... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable @photomax Thank you for your points. I pretty much agree with you, except if set up correctly, the current LP12 can actually be set it and forget it, no need to tinker. Personally, I give no credence to folk who naysay the table and who do not o... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable I’m a Linn naysayer... I owned this table back in 1975 and I had so many problems with it after my car mechanic and I set it up i could never recommend it, which is why i sold it then. My friend also owns a Linn LP12, he bought his in 1980 and upd... | |
| Eric Clapton Unplugged MoFi UD1S thoughts @analogj +1 My copy of the MoFi 'One Step' EC Unplugged is superior in all areas to the other versions that i own, including the Bellman release. Superb album that really allows the soundstage to expand and bring in more information of the au... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable As usual the typical naysayers are swinging for the fences.. The current LP12 Klimax model had a good review recently by Herb Reichert in Stereophile. Herb compared it favorably to his Dr.Feickert and others and seemed to feel it was still at ... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @anthos314 Your stylus is a very small diamond which along with the cantilever tracks barely above the record surface! This is always a little odd looking at first, but the Lyra models exhibit this behavior…which is part of their design.Remember,... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever @chayro You are not dealing with a set it and forget it type of product when you are getting into upper end analog. There are plenty of out of the box set it and forget it solutions in analog, but all of them are not designed for ultimate perfor... | |
| Brand new Lyra Delos - skewed cantilever On what part of the record does the stylus skip? If it skips towards the lead out groove, then I would try a slightly higher anti skate ( this was happening on my Kleos on a few pressings, the fix was to increase very slightly the anti-skate). Rem... | |
| MIT Cables new "Articulation Control Console" $45.000 for speaker cables? Peanuts, MIT is coming out with the 20 Million dollar set, designed for the lad who needs to truly impress his friends. | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Maybe someone could explain to me why this reviewer ( Fremer) has such a fan base? While many of us would agree with his points on occasion, his attitude to folks who disagree with him, or call into question his ’expert status’, leaves a lot to be... | |
| Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber @craig I think your description of the Franco designed SF's is not accurate at all. Sure, they can be made to sound as you describe, but they typically are more musical and, IME, preferred by a lot of folks to the later designs. A 'warm syrupy'... | |
| Paolo Tezzon has left Sonus Faber Franco was able to bring a lot of coherence into his designs, more so IMO than Paolo. Franco also had a great ear for what the sound of a natural 'unamplified' instrument sounded like. This was one of Franco's greatest strengths, and which I think... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @greenngoldcheesehead I would definitely take the folks at the economic forecasting firm to Vegas with you. Should be able to make you a fortune! | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley When Covid first hit, I saw a report of a young lad who decided he was going to buy up huge supplies of hand sanitizer. Apparently, he did succeed in this and was able to temporarily impact the supply of hand sanitizer. This bad actor th... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? @ghasley You are right with regards to your last paragraph when it comes to pricing. Unfortunately, in a true capitalistic society the ability to have no price controls is paramount, and as such free market reign is also paramount. The result of ... |
